They are four times more likely to drop out of school and report twice as much alcohol and tobacco use as their single classmates, according to new research from the University of Georgia. “Romantic relationships are a trademark of adolescence, but very few studies have examined how adolescents differ in the development of these relationships,” said Pamela Orpinas, study author and professor in the College of Public Health and head of the Department of Health Promotion and Behavior. Orpinas followed a group of 624 students over a seven-year period from 6th to 12th grade. Each year, the group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and reported the frequency of different behaviors, including the use of drugs and alcohol. Their teachers completed questionnaires about the students’ academic(学术的) efforts. He found that some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school, and these students always had the best study skills according to their teachers. Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school. “At all points in time, teachers considered the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and the students with the highest dating as having the worst study skills,” according to the journal article. Study skills refer to behaviors that lead to academic success such as doing work for extra credit (学分), being well organized, finishing homework, working hard and reading assigned chapters.第 4 页/共 8 页

“Dating a classmate may be as complicated as dating a co-worker,” Orpinas said, “when the couple break up, they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps see the ex-partner dating someone else. It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and could divert (转移) attention from studying.” “Dating should not be considered a ceremony of growth in middle school,” Orpinas concluded. 32. According to the passage, students who date in middle school may_____ A. have poorer academic performances B. be more likely to hurt others C. enjoy better school lives D. be less likely to use alcohol and tobacco 33. When doing his study, Orpinas ________________. A. followed a group of students of 6th and 12th grade B. completed a survey and a report each year C. found that the students’ study skills have connection with their frequency of dating D. completed questionnaires about the students’ academic efforts 34. What can possibly happen to the school couples after they break up? A. They don’t want to see each other any longer. B. They will think it’s reasonable to get depressed. C. They will miss their ex-partners sometimes. D. Their attention to studying will be affected. 35. Orpinas’ attitude towards dating in middle school is_____ A. supportive B. negative C. positive D. unconcerned 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答案卡 36--40 将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余项。 __36__You probably think you will never be a top student.
